1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

aimsThis study aimed to investigate the therapeutic potential of myricetin, a natural flavonoid, in Alzheimer's disease (AD) by targeting Th17 cell-mediated neuroinflammation through inhibition of the transcription factor RORγt.

methodsVirtual screening of 47,963 compounds identified myricetin as a potential RORγt inhibitor, validated by molecular docking and dynamics simulations. In vivo, 3xTg-AD mice were treated with myricetin (50 mg/kg/day) for 8.5 weeks, followed by behavioral tests (novel object recognition, Morris water maze) and pathological analyses (HE/Nissl staining, immunohistochemistry, Western blot). In vitro, Th17 polarization assays and mechanistic studies (ChIP, EMSA, MST) were performed to elucidate myricetin's action on RORγt-IL-17 signaling.

resultsMyricetin exhibited stable binding to RORγt (Kd = 6.40 μM), suppressing Th17 polarization and IL-17 production. In AD mice, myricetin improved cognitive function, reduced neuronal damage, decreased Aβ plaques and phosphorylated tau levels, and attenuated microglial activation. Mechanistically, myricetin blocked RORγt recruitment to the IL17 promoter, downregulating IL-17 transcription.

conclusionMyricetin ameliorates AD pathology by inhibiting RORγt-driven Th17 polarization, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic agent for AD.
